Sorry - but is it just me that keeps reading this as “Awful Performer” ? Even when I correct myself, I then just think a-ful, yep that’s just a shortened version of awful. (Don’t mind me, reviews seem good.)

That’ll be today’s earworm sorted :grin: - is this really only from 2018, feels like it should be longer ago than that?!

That’s legit the first thing most people say about it. So nope, not just you

I don’t know if you know, but AFUL comes from the first letters of : “Amazing Fantastic Unique Leader”. :upside_down_face:
For the price, I’d guess it’s very good and fights in a tough $200-$300 price bracket. Let’s wish them success and see more such IEMs! :wink: :metal:

Does anybody have the graphic of the Asian Band 5 vs. Band 8 graphic with the spider-graph? Can’t find a translated version but I swear I’ve seen it before

how are they?

got them right before the holidays so didn’t get a loot of time with them here were my initial impressions.
initial impressions - these can be pretty song picky but besides some outliers that made me cringe a bit, (first couple songs I listened to sounded congested af, and sometimes they struggle with bass) that said these can blow you away with detail retrieval I found myself getting lost in the smaller details at times.
build feels solid cable is nice but 2 pin qc may be iffy, my left unit had no issues but the rights 2 pin was so tight I couldn’t get the cable in, after I got it in and took it out a couple times it loosened up a bit though.
TLDR - I think it’s a very recording quality dependent set which for the price is wild, but also because of that enjoyment may be hit or miss.
